Hold on a sec...redoing the X-Wing is one thing, but why re-do something that was obviously meant to be a UCS set the first time around? That very discussion is going on not too far down this page as well, I believe...Anyway, I still have the old one built and displayed, and the only reason that I would even blink at this one is to order a replacement sticker sheet.

Agreed - makes no sense to remake this where there are so many other classic planes they could do. It's a great model but why not something different to next to the first model and/or the Red Baron's plane? There's the Spirit of St. Louis, or a hundred other WWI planes to choose from.

Update: I've changed my mind because it didn't seem that long ago since the first Sopwith Camel set. But it's been 11 years so I can understand that a lot of people don't have the 2001 version. They did change the model and some of the colors so I say play well.

I'm on the other end of the spectrum...I was just talking with my wife the other night about something I read in some LEGO press material about how they'd never make sets that had to do with actual warfare. I pointed out to my wife (who was patiently indulging me) that they had done WWI aircraft and then I started talking about how much I lamented not getting the original Sopwith Camel and the Fokker. I was fresh out of my dark age back then and couldn't justify the price in spite of my interest in the models.

Now this. It's as if someone from LEGO was listening. I won't be missing it this time.
